Immediate Loading V/s Delayed Loading of Dental Implants

The emphasis of this book is that the preservation of alveolar hard and soft tissues is more predictable using the immediate implant placement and loading concept than is the reconstruction of the hard and soft tissues using the traditional delayed approach. As the treatment of patients with missing teeth has evolved over the past three decades from two-stage delayed loading of implants placed in healed extraction sites to immediate implant placement with immediate provisional restoration placement at the time the teeth are removed.
